What changes between the options

The combined trip covers two cities in 9 h. The Kruja trip devotes the visit to a single place, in 7 h to 8 h 30 min. Both list an English-speaking guide.

From the bazaar to the castle grounds

The bazaar streets lead up to the castle. Inside the grounds is the Skanderbeg museum. Check its ticket separately if you travel without a guided visit.

Getting to Kruja on your own

Confirm whether the vehicle goes to Krujë or drops you in Fushë-Krujë, on the plain. Pick a departure that lets you return to Tirana after the castle.
